Since former Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi bought AC Milan in 1986, the club has been crowned champions of Europe five times.

But they have fallen on hard times this campaign with the forecast deal coming at the end of a week which saw Milan humiliated 3-1 by Genoa, triggering speculation club legend Filippo Inzaghi will be sacked as coach.

The San Siro was almost deserted and those that were there jeered the team off at the final whistle as they lost at home to Genoa for the first time in 57 years.

That defeat left Milan mired in mid-table, trailing champions-elect Juventus by a massive 33 points.
